Moriyasu's chance lost

Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu said the Asian Cup’s postponement from January to December 2027 has probably cost him his final chance to win a title before leaving his post. He had been due to lead the team at the tournament in Saudi Arabia. Moriyasu said he accepted the decision, noting that the seven rescheduled matches could help the new coaching staff prepare for the World Cup, and that developing Japanese football was more important than his personal interests. The Japan Football Association is expected to decide when the coaching handover will take place. Moriyasu also said Japan needs to improve its win rate against South American teams if it is to become capable of winning the World Cup.
